The victory, achieved at Dodger Stadium, also marked the first extra-innings game for the Dodgers this season, after playing 91 games that were decided in the nine regulation innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hero of the night was rookie catcher Dalton Rushing<\/strong>, who hit a single to center field in the bottom of the eleventh inning to drive in the winning run and walk off the Rockies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dodgers seemed headed for a comfortable win after taking a 6-1 lead through four innings. Japanese star Shohei Ohtani<\/strong> opened the scoring with the 299th home run of his career in the third inning, and the Los Angeles offense extended the lead with a four-run rally in the fourth frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Colorado reacted in the final stretch of the game and tied the score in the ninth inning against closer Tanner Scott, forcing the game into extra innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the tenth inning, the Rockies took the lead thanks to the automatic runner, but the Dodgers responded immediately to tie the game and keep their hopes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already in the eleventh inning, Venezuelan Edgardo Henr\u00edquez<\/strong> pitched a solid scoreless inning, setting the stage for the home offense. After an intentional walk to Max Muncy and a sacrifice bunt by Tommy Edman, Dalton Rushing hit the decisive single against reliever Jimmy Herget to seal the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this result, the Dodgers continue to lead the Major Leagues and reach the 60-win mark before any other team, reaffirming their status as one of the top contenders for the title in the 2026 season.
